I’ve never in my life heard of a tesla having to have a replacement screen... or any car for that matter...
Plus given that the screens “float” in most modern cars rather than being on the front of a head unit like older vehicles, I can’t imagine that replacing one is very expensive at all. I don’t think I’ll be adding screen lifetime & replacement cost to the list of things to consider when buying a car any time soon... Cheers, David Land Rovers of all shapes S3 onwards… Daily is a 110 V8. |

"The recall includes 134,951 Model S and Model X cars, making it Tesla's biggest recall to date. It encompasses 2012 through 2018 Model S sedans as well as 2016 through 2018 Model X crossovers. This is fewer than the 158,000 cars requested by the NHTSA for recall, as Tesla excluded the vehicles that have already had memory upgrades or touchscreen replacements, reports the Washington Post." https://www.thedrive.com/tech/39065/tesla-...ars-anyway
"The upgrade costs $2,500 (plus applicable tax including installation)" https://electrek.co/2020/03/02/tesla-mcu-infotainment-upgrade/ |

Teslas are having a lot of issues with their screens - unresponsive, not turning on etc.. There have been voluntary recalls. |

I’m not a fan of big screens, I think they are a distraction to the driver and are not necessary. For 100 years people managed to drive without a massive screen (bit of a tongue in cheek comment I know) so I don’t get the obsession now. Plus I think that in years to come they will look out dated as technology moves on. Bentley has it right in the Continental GT with the revolving screen but that will take a while to filter down to more affordable cars!!
Just my opinion and I hope that there would be the option in the future to spec the smaller screen if the customer wishes not to have the larger one. |

That isn't even the first screen related drama they've had. The units in the S/X are not automotive grade and suffered from yellowing along the edges. They used paid influencers on twitter and the Tesla owners forums to promote a "UV light" based fix that seemed to be mostly snake oil. Fairly certain the influencers actually had their screens replaced but claimed to have received the UV treatment. Their recently stated lifetime for infotainment units is 5-6 years. Seems at odds with "saving the planet"... They are an unscrupulous company. Buyer beware. |

I had no desire to own the new L663, but seeing the pending release of the V8 model has made me think.... Post lockdown... I've got to buy something and this maybe it!

What does this mean for people who have a 21.5 order in? I didn't see a HSE spec in Australia.

Hi,
From a quick run of the Australian configurator, HSE is only available in 90’s with a petrol engine. HSE is available in 110’s with D300 or P400.

Thanks Scrumps,
Is the new australian configurator up? I can't find it. The MY21.5 still lists HSE. |
